Hi Friends,
Hope everyone is having a positive start to the week. Last week, we shared Ari's (who is one of our bakers and photographer extraordinaire) not so awesome story. We are happy to report that Ari's GoFundMe has raised over $18k to help replace the car and to handle other related expenses. Thank you to everyone that generously contributed - we see you and appreciate you.

Not able to snag a box on our website? Here are some other options:
Order à la carte from Bread Project, Grand Coffee, Golden Goat Coffee, Cupcakin' Bakeshop (Saturdays) First come, first served.
Each pastry box includes:
Chocolate Banana Croissant: Filled with a roasted banana cream, Valrhona chocolate, fresh bananas, an almond cookie top, and dusted with cocoa powder and banana sugar.
Pineapple Bun: Fluffy milk bread filled with our pineapple custard and topped with a crunchy, yellow concha inspired top.
Green Onion Croissant: "A barely contained bouffant of golden pastry that is remarkable not just for its airy interior — green flecks of scallion trapped in the web of translucent dough" as described in the SF Chronicle. We layer in black and white sesame with a toasted sesame oil and green onions into our croissant dough and then bake until golden.
Okonomiyaki Danish: Inspired by the Japanese pancake, Okonomiyaki, this danish is topped with a veggie mornay and finished with Kewpie Mayonnaise, Okonomiyaki sauce, furikake, and bonito flakes.
Almond Cake: A decadent and rich cake that we recommend enjoying with some tea. It's topped with sliced almonds and is one of our fan favorites.
Mochi bites: Our mochi bites come in four flavors — Ube, Black Sesame, Blue Jasmine and Thai Tea. Inspired by Hawaiian butter mochi, they're crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and perfect for retoasting the next day too.
We encourage you to pick up early as anything not picked up at the end of the day will be donated. Please stay healthy, sane and safe out there. Vaccines are coming and make sure to check your status on myturn.ca.gov. As always, share any thoughts, feedback or comments with us as we would love to hear them.
We hope to see you soon.
Made with love,
Joyce & the Bake Sum Team
